End of History

END OF HISTORY

We invite you to our closing event on July 26th at 6:00 PM at Hypha Studios South Bank, Gallery 2. A talk and performance are planned; more details to follow.

ALL CAPITALS takes Southwark as its starting point. Continuously rebuilt over centuries, this part of London holds layers of histories: outsider burial grounds, industrial sites, offices, and cultural venues.

Inspired by Clarice, a city in Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities that repeatedly collapses and rebuilds itself, the exhibition considers how places change. Here, traces of the past coexist with imagined futures. Different times overlap, shaping both the city and the people who live in it.

Bringing together fourteen London-based artists of different backgrounds, generations, and disciplines, ALL CAPITALS explores what it means to live amongst these layers of history. Working across sculpture, installation, sound, video, and performance, the artists explore transformation, instability, queerness, memory, and renewal.

The gallery becomes a place to rehearse, inhabit, and return to. Many works were made for the space and will change over the course of the exhibition.

A public programme of workshops, performances, and walks extend the project into the city, moving through queer craft, sound, and Southwark's overlooked histories.

Featuring: Breeze Bee, Monika Drabot, Eric Fei, Jonathan Hadari, Sarah Hopper, Carter Tam, Wesley Power, Nikita Savostyanov, Lydia Seaman, Jacob Sirkin, Philip Steele, Daniel Rhys Wakefield, George Wigley and Minghao Wu
